Students respond to emergencies on and off campus at University of Delaware
NEWARK, Delaware (WPVI) — The University of Delaware Emergency Care Unit (UDECU) was formed in 1976 and has served the community both on and off campus ever since.
Today, the organization has over 50 members, including students from a broad array of majors offered by the University.
UDECU is staffed with crews every night during the spring and fall semesters. Some students even stick around for the summer, although calls become less infrequent. They also provide stand-by services at events like graduations or festivals.
In general, they are called on to provide emergency medical services across campus, around the city of Newark, and sometimes beyond.
